2014 NOSTRADAMUS AWARD goes to....Traveler, BowlenBall, Arkie, and eddie mac!
Each correctly drafted two prospects drafted by their team in real life.

2014 MOST PREPARED DRAFTER AWARD goes to.....phibacka31.
He correctly drafted 8 positions that the team drafted in real life.

INTERESTING TIDBITS:

The Biggest reach of the draft was: OT Antonio Richardson, drafted #61 Overall in the 2nd Round, and would not be drafted in the real thing at all. This was a value of (-196 points).

The Biggest steal of the draft was: OT Justin Britt, drafted at #251 Overall in the late 7th Round, and would be drafted #64 Overall, late 2nd Round, in the real draft. This was a value of (+187 points).

The Biggest Free Agent Gem was OG Spencer Long whom was drafted in the NFL draft at #78 Overall in the 3rd Round. His Free Agent value was worth (+179 points).

The team with the most selections in this draft was San Francisco with 11. One more than several other teams. SF would go on to finish #1 overall. The first time a team with a lot of selections has graded extremely high.

The team with the least selections in this draft was Indianapolis with 4. They would go on to finish #11 Overall due to a strong free agency showing.

Two teams in the Free Agency Round signed 5 players that would go on to be drafted. New England and Minnesota, though the value of those players was significantly different with Minnesota getting a ridiculous 407 points while NE received a usually huge haul in 252 points.

Cleveland and St. Louis had the most Inherent Value points available to them (365) mostly due to starting with multiple first round picks. Indianapolis had the least with 115 due to ending up with only four selections. Indianapolis finished higher than both.

The Jacksonville Jaguars actually netted the most Inherent Value points with 310. Washington netted the fewest with 55. These should always be kept in mind when trading.

What I did was just left the player up if he played a position the team drafted in real life, and if not, I deleted him. Exact players are colored blue and worth 50 points. Non-exact but same position players get 10 points.

Calculated using a 1 - 32 score for each section below. A LOWER number is better, you want to be in the 50s or below on your Efficiency Score.

Efficiency was calculated using:

1. Average Time Per Selection
2. Participation in Free Agency (Yes = 1, No = 32)
3. Attention to Team Needs
4. Final Mock Draft Ranking

This considers whether the owner made selections in a timely manner, whether the owner participated in the Free Agency round, whether the owner paid attention to his team needs and filled them, and how well the owner did overall in the mock draft game.

Is there any way to combine this data with the time-on-the-clock statistics that were thrown around during the draft process in order to truly narrow down, once and for all, who used their time efficiently?

Yes, I'll do something with that. Good idea. Need to finish editing this stuff up to look nice first though. Might get to that tomorrow.

I gave you 70. Enemkpali is a 245-250 lb Rush LB, while Stinson is a 5 Tech.

They call him a DE

IK is stalky and runs a 5.0+ forty

From the Jets website:
6C. IK Enemkpali, DE, Louisiana Tech

With back-to-back compensatory picks in Round 6 of the 2014 NFL Draft, the Jets have selected their third wide receiver of this draft, Quincy Enunwa of Nebraska, and their first DE, Ikemefuna "IK" Enemkpali of Louisiana Tech.

Enemkpali earned All-Conference USA first-team honors and the teams Willie Roaf Lineman of the Year Award as a redshirt senior after tallying 47 tackles (11 for loss), 5.5 sacks and two interceptions. Over his four seasons with the Bulldogs, Enemkpali racked up 148 total tackles, 17.5 sacks and 32 TFL.

His full name is Ikemefuna Chinedum Enemkpali. This is our first-ever selection of a Louisiana Tech product.

From Houston's Website:
I know he (Crennel) runs a 3-4 defense and its similar to what I have been in with Alabama, Pagan said. So, hopefully I can get right in and see how Im already prone to 2-gapping and all that, I can kind of get the playbook and it should be a smooth transition.

Pagan declared for the draft after his junior season when he started 11-of-12 games. He logged 34 tackles with 2 sacks (against LSU and Oklahoma), four quarterback hurries, and a blocked kick.

Pagan, who underwent recent shoulder surgery, was not able to work out at the NFL Combine while he was recovering. He learned of the Texans interest in him, later in the pre-draft process and feels he could easily fit into their defensive scheme.

He's a strong side Rush LB in a 34. You're not squeezing 10 more points out of me.

I am glad the Jets drafted him though, got me some FA points. Ended up being a good thing BMORE and Mediator jumped me for those two expensive guys in the last second of Free Agency.

It didn't turn out as horrible as I thought it would. I thought Tiny Richardson and Rashaad Reynolds dropping out of the draft would sink me like the Titanic. I discovered why Tiny didn't get drafted. His interviews didn't go well and he's, let's just put it this way, he's not a workout warrior. More of a buffet table warrior. I have no idea why Reynolds didn't get drafted. Complete mystery. Looks like the late round picks bailed me out, at least to some extent. Thanks to MUG for all the hard work.

Raw values are a measure of reaches and steals. You pick a guy 10 spots before he goes in the real draft, you lose 10 points. You pick him 10 spots earlier, you get 10 points. So, raw value adds those up for all the picks plus Free Agency guys that get drafted.

Inherent Value are numbers I came up with to make higher selections inherently more valuable than lower selections. For instance, a Top 10 selection is worth 100 points as long as you don't reach for a player. Since you won't be getting much in terms of steal with the #1 overall pick, value had to be added to make that selection desirable so everyone didn't just trade back all the time. Contrast that all the way to a selection in the 7th round which has an inherent value of 10 points. These values were also assigned with trading in mind, to help on that end.

So disappointed that Mack went to the Raiders of all teams. He will be a nightmare for the Broncos to contend with.

Also, I was quite surprised at how many GM's kept on passing on the most NFL ready players throughout the Draft for potential, even with one GM saying this was the most immature draft he's ever seen. This trend definitely affected some GM's in the OM draft and not surprised to see some great drafters take a massive hit because of this.

Most surprising for me are AJ McCarron, Mewhort and Jaylen Watkins (teams are going regret passing on Jaylen and Mewhort) going where they were. Those three were winners and proven players, but got passed over by those that have a "higher ceiling". Outside of the Lyerla pick (which no team is willing to touch at the moment). I've always drafted based on football IQ and Character. Seems that was almost completely bypassed in this draft.

My two BIG mistakes were taking Colt Lyerla and AJ McCarron, even through he is the most NFL ready QB in this draft class. I should have listened to myself in that this QB class sucks hind tit, and all the chatter/hype that 8-10 QBs would go in the first two days was all total SMOKESCREEN. I caved and traded up to get AJ thinking I got some great value. Wrong.

Second was the Colt Lyerla selection, a guy with cocaine usage and a record of changing his rehab stints. Not good and its a huge question mark if he will ever see the field for any team in training camp.

Reaches were made, but the true gauge of drafting begins as the player careers develop and we'll see how their production pans out. I think we'll see a lot of these "potential" players fizzle out of the league pretty quick.
